Its a mean ole world for wabbits. He likely walked into the barn and scraped up some old baccy laying on the barn floor and stuffed it in his pipe before going huntin.

Nice pic. I'm thinking early 1900's ?

Looks like a recent 'period photo', if it isn't then it is seriously impressive quality.

Nice photo but the rabbits are staring at me.

 

[bubbadreier]

I like it! I can see where yoru might be on to something, but I hope it is an old photo!

 

[lonestar]

Greggors, the rabbits are staring at me too.... And they're talking to me...... They're saying "I'm delicious fried" !

I hope its an orginal photo.

If it is original, no reason it needs to be from 1900. This picture could come from the 1940's, 60's, 70's. Old guns keep shooting for a long time. But the stock doesn't look like it has enough dings and scratches to be working a trapline.

Awsome photo. Who knows, he might have got a new rifle and was a good day to take a photo way back when.

LOL, my father still to this day refuses to let me hunt with a scope and if we are bow hunting it has to be a recurve. His says that technology has taken the sport out of hunting and anybody can hit a deer with a tuned scope. I am teaching my oldest daughter how to shot and I will teach her the same way. The way I figure it if she can shot off the irons if she has a scope and it gets messed up at least she can still hit her target. With all that said i would love to be taking longer shots with a high powered scope, would save the walk in and stalking to get a good sight picture.
